Alan Partridge Movie Filming In North Norfolk Over Weekend

North Norfolk may be echoing with a resounding volley of bullets over the weekend, as Alan Partridge, one of the East Anglia's most famous fictional residents, returns to his seaside home for filming.

Partridge, the Norfolk broadcaster played by Steve Coogan, will be out and around Cromer pier as filming continues for the much-anticipated feature film.

According to the BBC the pier will be swarming with policemen, but most of them will be actors, so nearby residents have been told not to worry.

Kevin Loader, a producer on the £4m Alan Partridge Movie told the BBC: "We felt that to do the movement to the big screen justice we needed something that would register properly cinematically and I think Cromer Pier will do that job brilliantly."
